​Hi,I hope that you have had a good Summer.I will resume leading the Beginner Bluegrass Jam at the Pioneer Building next Wednesday (Sept. 6).

New Song Lists​Included intheattachments are two newsonglists forthejamwhich are intended to replacethe'top 20' list and 'additional 30' lists that we used forthejambeforetheSummer break.

The first list (titled 'BeginnerBluegrassJam - Sept. - Dec. 2017') consists ofthe 20 songs that were on the top 20 list, plus 7 more songs that I intend on making thesongoftheweek between now and the end ofthe year. This list of 27 songs is the list that we will play from for the first half ofthe evening. Notice that, unlike the top 20 list, most ofthe songs are not given a specified key. The lead singer, from now on, chooses which key these songs will be played in during both halves ofthe evening.

The second list (titled 'BeginnerBluegrassJam - Sept. - Dec. 2017 Additional Songs') consists of 22 songs that have been played at least once at theBeginnerJam between Jan. and June of 2017 during the second half ofthe evening, when people were free to call songs not on the top 20 list, so long as these are beginner-friendly and appropriate for a Bluegrassjam. Many of these songs will likely continue to be called by people at thejam during the second half ofthe evening, and many ofthe songs on this list will eventually become songs oftheweek for the jam.
